Good Free App of the Day: Cartoon ABC! (limited time!)

Today’s GFAOTD is a better-than-most animated flash card app, regularly priced at $2.99 but free for a limited time! Cartoon ABC has more than 100 animated interactions and contains no ads, in-apps or social network connections.

There is one odd thing about the app. On the title page there are seven items, but only two can be touched to reach another page: the alligator hugging the letter A and the light switch. A little confusing at first as the normal modus operandi is that everything can be clicked to lead to something else.

If you'd like to download Cartoon ABC (FREE for a limited time, iPad/iPhone), please support Smart Apps by using this button.

* Only the app's developer can control when an app is free or not. All apps that we post as Good Free Apps of the Day are verified to be free at the time of this post. We make no guarantees otherwise. **

Every day we pick what we affectionately call the Good Free App of the Day, an app that we have downloaded, tested and certified: It can't have a ton of ads or just a little content with a ton of in-app purchases.

It also has to be good.

We then present them to you to read, download, and share and, based on which ones got the most hits, here are your Top 100 Favorite Free Apps!

We've done our best to only include apps that are permanently free, but sometimes developers do change their minds so please leave a comment if you find an app that's no longer free.

Enjoy!
